Led by the MBCACT, the state based Mercedes-Benz clubs are planning a major event for the 50th anniversary of the W123. The W123 is one of the more significant models in Mercedes-Benz history and so it is an important milestone. #1981240D #Polish #Wheelwells

When I first bought my 1981 Mercedes 240D, the A/C did not work. It was apparent that the car had been siting around for a while, so it was not really surprising. What was surprising, was that it worked well when I had it gassed up. #1981240D #compressor

The prominent grille is one of the most obvious design features of the W123. A scruffy grille can really let down the car. On my 240D, the grille was in pretty good shape, but the plastic insert was starting to go chalky. #1981240D #Grille

W123 instrument clusters are notorious for jumpy temperature and fuel gauges and mine was no different. This problem seems to impact other Benzes of the era, but is particularly pronounced in the W123. #1981240D #1987420SELpartscar #InstrumentCluster

My 1981 240D was sold new with a Becker Europa 596 Cassette. The Becker was still in the car when I purchased it, but it would not stay tuned. #1981240D #Becker #BeckerEuropa596 #TranzitBLU
